Line an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished fudge out.

Melt the peanut butter and butter together in a large bowl. I prefer to slice the butter to make melting easier. Stop the microwave and stir the mixture every minute until completely melted and smooth.

Remove from the microwave and stir in the vanilla using a large rubber spatula or wooden spoon.

Add the salt if you prefer a salty/sweet fudge.

Add the sifted confectioners' sugar and stir until completely combined. The mixture is very, very thick and resembles cookie dough. Add in the chocolate chips and fold them into the fudge while it is still warm.

Press the fudge into prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spatula or spoon. The top will be somewhat oily.

Cover tightly with aluminum foil and chill for at least 4 hours or until firm. Cut into pieces.

Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Fudge may be frozen for up to 2 months. To thaw, simply transfer to the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.

I sincerely hope you enjoy this old family recipe! I promise it will be a huge hit at any gathering!!

I love you Tana!!
